how would this ever be > 1? I think you're overthinking this.

`Twitter` may actually already be configured by the tweetstream class, but if not, you should just do something like:

```ruby
class TwitterUtil
  def self.find_by_status(...)
    initialize_twitter

    @twitter_client.status(status_id) # should also work with Twitter constant
     ...
  end

  def initialize_twitter
    ... # init code

    @twitter_client ||= Twitter::Client.new
  end
end
```
